Nullsoft Winamp 2000 SP4 v1.3.2-Lite: So great, skipped 1 version revision!

[Eris Lund]

And we're live!
Finally, after many months of silence and some activity on Github, version 1.3 is finally released!
Enjoy!

Oops, accidentally forgot to post about v1.3.2-Lite... I guess Christmas does come early...?

No ETA on when v1.4 comes.

[Eris Lund]

Bit of a life update on things: I'm working on v1.4 and have already released two Release Candidates, however as things are, apprenticeship has slowed down my progress on things and as exams are creeping closer and closer, I fear that v1.4 will take just a little longer to get done.
Winamp2000SP4 has gained a co-author, mirzi, who you might know from the fantastic WinampXP (which also deserves a whole lot more attention imo ) and he's been an incredible help of figuring out odd issues or fixing them if possible.

The skin also gained a Twitter account where I ramble post about various things and/or show off something I'm working on that'll see the light on the repository (latest additions being the new and improved song timer display and an improved UI for the main window), highly recommend you follow and spread the word.

Other than that, all I can suggest is to try the latest RC or try the latest commits and send feedback my way.

Thank you.

gave the new 1.4rc2 a try and I have to say I am not a fan of the Sidebar View in the Playlist Editor, it takes up a lot of space to show information I have displayed elsewhere and unfortunately as it stands, if I try to shrink the playlist window horizontally, my entire playlist disappears and this Sidebar View is the only thing that remains.

If I could hide it by shrinking the playlist window, that would be awesome. I generally keep my playlist window at about half the width of the main window.

[Eris Lund]

Thank you for your detailed feedback, I love reading stuff like that!

I've on and off been thinking of adding an auto hide feature as well as adding a button to disable the sideview entirely, should one not like it.

I don't know when I'll get around to do it (life is taking ahold of me and I've shifted focus on a different project for now), but I can guarantee that it'll find itself in v1.4

[calcium]

glad my comment was well-received. I'm always self conscious about providing criticism cause I don't want to come off like a jerk or narcissistic like my issues matter more. looking forward to the next full release!

[Eris Lund]

Please, I'm always appreciative of feedback (as that's the one thing I rely on and so far you're one of the few who's done so).

I honestly can't tell you when the full release will come, as it might take longer after I'm done with my apprenticeship, but we'll see

I have noticed a bit of weirdness when adding items to the playlist.. generally the current playing item will shift to the bottom of the playlist and dragging anything upwards is not possible. not at all a huge issue just a quirk i wanted to report

[Eris Lund]

This might actually be a WACUP quirk, as I'm not doing anything with how the Playlist Editor itself works in maki (i.e. no manipulation of the content is happening from my side)

It's better to report this to dro rather than to me

@calcium: what wacup build are you using?

-dro

[calcium]

my mistake, it does appear to be something more WACUP related, specifically regarding the modern skins, I could not reproduce with the classic skins.

currently I am using 1.2.6.8650
I no longer am seeing the issue regarding current playing track being sent downward in the playlist, but I do still notice that I cannot drag items upwards near the top of the playlist.

sorry for the confusion!

[dro]

Have added it to the todo list to re-check for a later build.

Good news calcium, mirzi has finally gotten around to add the ability to hide the sidecar view! (We never really forgot)
It is in the latest commit that you can download on Github



I really don't know when v1.4 comes out, but I do know that it'll be the last.

[calcium]

I look forward to the release, Eric. The gift of your efforts do not go unappreciated, your skin is a vital and greatly appreciated element of my desktop aesthetic. Thank you for what you do my good man.

Hi Eris,

I'm a bit confused. Which modern skin are you the maintainer of? The one in this post or the one I provided the clip of in my post about the song length timer jitters. I installed this one (Winamp 2000 SP4 v1.4) and it also has the song length timer jitters.

In any case, lets give dro some time to look into the jitters issue (as I said in the other post) before you change anything. You did say in Post #27 above, that v1.4 of this skin will be the last.

@calcium,
Version 1.4 can be downloaded from Github and it contains the option (as shown above) to hide the sidecar in the playlist editor window.
